Know someone (or someones) who had a new baby this year? Seems like we all do, right? And the further away we live from them, the less often we’re able to see their shining faces, or the new kids we’ve privately convinced ourselves are named after us.

Uh, I mean, the less often we’re able to head over and physically help out the happy new parent or two, of course. New babies are an all-hands-on-deck situation: The parents are exhausted; they’re suddenly responsible for round-the-clock care for a new mini-them who can’t yet communicate what it wants, and there’s still stuff like “cooking” and “cleaning” and “going to work” to take care of.

If you can’t (or “can’t”) be there in person to help out, you can always be there in spirit. With presents!

But instead of just getting them onesies their babies will grow out of in five seconds, or shoes that seemed really cute that the time but that the babies are definitely going to kick off in public (never to be seen again), here are 15 gifts you can buy for new parents that they’ll really, truly, appreciate.

Why? Because they’re actually for them. And, okay, sure, a few for the newborn too. I mean, come on. Have you ever seen a winter hat for a baby? Beyond.
